Edison didn't actually invent it. He was a thief and a crook. Also at 5% efficiency the incandescent light was one of the worst inventions ever!

Edison stole almost everything hes known for and hes still patronized as an American hero when it Tesla were to have been able to push his influence could have put power companies and gas companies out of buisness just another way corporate conglomerates use money to oppress the ppl instead of further humanity Tesla is the true American hero along with the other inventors these corporate conglomerates stole from

citizen Kane, Yep, Edison was an old crook, Tesla was a true visionary and a man of great talent and numerous patents that got stolen (including radio). Tesla wasn't in it for the money, he was an idealist who tried to make the world a better place. And lot of rich people like Edison and J.P.Morgan took advantage of him.

Player #244477, When it comes to electricity, Tesla far surpassed Edison. Edison stole credit.

It doesn't ask who inveted it. It asked who patented it in 1880.

Edison stole this invention from Joseph Swann. Swann had failed to patent his invention. They did set up the Ediswann factory in Enfield UK so that says a lot about how Edison respected Joseph Swann. Edison was great at taking other people's ideas and inventions and perfecting them but to say he invented all his creations is an insult to other inventors.

Thomas(The Thief ) Edison shouldn't be mentioned as the Inventor Of the light bulb when in all actuality Lewis Howard Latimer Though Thomas Edison is recognized as the inventor of the light bulb He was a man of color a African-American man who was not permitted to apply for a patent because blacks were not permitted to read, have property and or even earn wages for work they performed for THERE SO-CALLED MASTERS!!!!!

rickthedick, Edison emploed Tesla who is the resl inventor of the electric light. Edison claimed it when Tesla left his employment.

Player #1997119

InFaMoUs1Shot1Killed, so Lewis Howard was working for Edison at the time so Lewis came up with the idea of the light bulb he must of told Edison who was his boss at the time his idea etc..Edison told everyone that he invented something when he shows people how it works when asked what you call it ..Edison light bulb..so if Lewis Howard Latimer said no that was my idea etc people would have called him a liar because he was black..so Lewis didn’t say anything because ...he knew if he did say something he would have been beaten up or worse ..that what I think happened..

Player #183694

others were working on the same invention at the time edison only employed inventors and men of vision

InexcusableTreat

he did steal the idea but he patent it first

Player #130257916

This is a bad question. Should be restated more properly.

Player #130257916

But the question states, "Who patented light bulb in the U.S."?

Player #130257916

Tesla was Edison's employee.

Player #130257916

You can replay questions instead of continuing.

Player #130257916

I learn just as much in the comments as I learn in the explanation after the question.

Player #130257916

Tesla was a black man that worked for Thomas Edison. it was late 1800's. He was given low wages, I suppose.

Player #130257916

prejudices still existed.

Player #130257916

Edison patented is first in the United States. United Kingdom actually had a light bulb first.

Edison looked like Gilderoy Lockhart...

thesnowqueen

Louis le Prince invented the motion picture camera. But le Prince mysteriously went missing as he was on his way to New York to get his US patent finalized. Edison then got his patent and is widely credited as the inventor

Glad so many people know the true moral character of Thomas Edison.

Lil Tiefling

It was actually Tesla who did it , Edison stole his work

Laraib

Dan Thomas, really 😲

Light

infamousiceberg313, By the time the lightbulb was invented, slaves of all races had been long freed in the USA. Unless Latimer was working in Saudi Arabia, he was a free man and allowed wages for his work.

Dan Thomas, no, it wasn't. The question was not who invented it, the question is "who patented".
